Andrew Ladd now can shift his focus to his upcoming wedding. The forward finally reached a deal with the Winnipeg Jets.

After being involved in contract negotiations with the team since late May -- when it was announced the franchise was relocating from Atlanta to Winnipeg -- Ladd on Tuesday agreed to a five-year deal with the club, worth a reported $22 million.

Ladd said he expected to be named captain of the Jets after serving as the captain of the Atlanta Thrashers last season, and General Manager Kevin Cheveldayoff confirmed that later in the afternoon.

The 25-year-old restricted free agent agreed to the deal Tuesday, a few hours before he was eligible to file for salary arbitration.

The captain is staying put baby. Never was out of the question honestly.
